Ethan Madrid

Bandleader, Lead Guitar

Ethan is one of the premier jazz guitarists in the northwest, playing with hundreds of musicians, even filling spots with grammy winning musicians. Dubbed the young Django by some of his contemporaries, he founded the band in hopes of pursuing his longtime dream of leading a gypsy swing group. He is known well for his distinct vintage sound, energetic playing, and lighting fast speed.

Jessie Morozov

Violin

Jessie is one of the most accomplished young violinists, with countless solo awards to her name. She has played with some of the most well respected symphonies in the northwest. Her classical training for almost a decade influences her playing in many ways. Her revered vibrato and sweet melodic lines beautify any tune.

Garrett Johnson

Rhythm Guitar

Garrett is one of the most steady hands to ever live. Originally a classical flute player, Garrett began to learn guitar under Ethan in 2021, and has become a feared player since. He has been with the Hot Club since its first ever rehearsal. His sense of rhythm is impeccable, and ties the entire band together. His roots are in the big band realm, where he quickly picked up the ability to play some of the fastest tempos easily.

Keira Petrik

Double Bass

Keira, arguably the key player of the band has also become a well known bassist in the northwest. She, just like Jessie, began her musical career as a classical player. She played in multiple orchestras as a bassist for many years before becoming a bassist in a big band. Her ability to lock in with any tempo and give a steady, yet melodic bass line have made her a key member of any rhythm section.
